The Canon of the AU

I apologize for the sudden absence and near full deletion of this blog. The reason behind this is because I did some reflection and found that while I still live the Warriors series, as of right now, it has too many flaws for my liking.

So what does this mean for Mountain Sound?

Mountain Sound is still going to be a thing, but the plot has gone through some heavy alterations. Among them is the war that destroyed the Clans.

All of the events from Dawn of the Clans and Bramble Star’s Storm are canon, however everything after them is not within this AU. A Vision of Shadows and everything taking place during and after it never happened within this AU because The Dark Forest battle didn’t happen like in the books.

The Dark Forest War was so much more than a simple battle in this AU. The War with the Dark Forest was generational. They bided their time, training cats within their dreams to betray their Clanmates.

When the time came, the Dark Forest got their trainees to spark a war between the Clans by murdering their Clanmates, leading predators into territories intentionally, stealing prey, and blaming it all on the other Clans. The war lasted many years, over countless generations. Clans resorted to stealing kits from other Clans, kittypets, even loners and rogues when they found themselves short on cats.

A group of younger and some senior warriors from the Clans gathered in secret on the island one night after they each received a dream from StaRclan and devised a plan. With it, they finally ended the war, killing the corrupt leaders who refused to even with all the signs StarClan had been trying to send, and anyone who followed those leaders.

But the damage had been done. There was almost nothing left of the Clans, and many of the cats fled during the final battle. All that was left were a small handful of kits and warriors. Only one of the leaders and his deputy had survived the attack, as he and the deputy were the ones to lead the group of heroes.

So little is left of the Clans, there is no hope of them to rebuild as they are now. All of them now live together as one on the island. The newest generation, the kits who had barely opened their eyes at the time of the war’s end and remembered nothing of it, are able to move on and grow up happily alongside each other. But among the warriors, even the ones who are now close friends, there is still tension. They bicker often, ideals from each Clan clashing with one another over how to hunt, where to hunt, how and where to patrol.

So far, no one is willing to start a real fight, but it’s only a matter of time before something goes wrong. StarClan knows this as well, and unbeknownst to the living, have been visiting with another set of ancestors, ones far, far away from a time before the lake.

The Blazing Star has closed, and the five petals must now be one.

STARCLAN’S LAST RESORT AU NOTES #1

Been meaning to update with some ideas on this AU but have really been struggling art wise, so here are some random world/character building thoughts and ideas I have currently.

The story takes place in the old forest after deforestation, and the entire surrounding area is sort of post apocalyptic/ barren and almost purgatory like, though as to why this is and how the sudden destruction of the clans happened is still under construction.

THUNDERCLAN

I’ve already decided the first “main” group that gets revived in Thunderclan are Scourge, Princess, Smudge, Swiftpaw, Shrewpaw, Snowkit, Mosskit, Elderkit, Tulipkit, Juniperkit, and Dandelionkit. All of them were chosen based on unfair deaths and each cat’s connection to Firestar or Tigerclaw/star in some way.

Other returning Thunderclan members currently under consideration are: Thrushpelt, Frecklewish, Birchface, Speckletail, Snowfur, Bluestar’s parents, Swiftpaw and Snowkit’s siblings, Mapleshade’s kits, Honeyfern, and possibly Briarlight.

ABSOLUTELY returning next would be: Pinestar, Leopardfoot and her kits, and Goosefeather, which I feel could add a lot of drama and unique interactions based on unresolved feelings from the earlier events of the books.

A possible change would be changing some parents of characters to prevent inbreeding or odd story choices (ie Darkstripe being the father of Brindleface’s kits), though I fully intend to properly address the extremely uncomfortable abuse/manipulation in relationships and large age gaps that are brushed over in canon, as well as bringing up some character traits that are often overlooked or ignored in said canon as well.

One of the main ones I’ve discovered is Stormtail, Bluestar’s father, who’s alarming behavior has been mostly overlooked. Including his age gap relationship with Moonflower, his bullying and pretty much implied attempted murder on Goosefeather, the neglect of his kits till they live up to his expectations, and of course, his implied affair with Dappletail, which also concerns an age gap. I hope to expand on these details with lesser looked at characters like this some time in the events of the AU

Finally for Thunderclan, Scourge would receive a leader role but would not have nine lives, and would possibly mentor Swiftpaw or Snowkit. I’m also considering Snowkit becoming a medicine cat, but not as a way to push him in there because of his deafness. Since the clans have been destroyed and rebuilt with these revived cats, I feel some warrior code would change, idk if Scourge would really want to keep everything exactly the same if he’s now in control of clan life. Snowkit would be a sort of battle medic, doing both warrior and med cat duties equally. Swiftpaw and Shrewpaw would gain a friendship, along with Snowkit and Mosskit! Snowkit would also support Goosefeather in many ways.

Pinestar would return but still be extremely distant and attempt to live as a loner in the new barren world, though he would definitely keep being pulled back into clan life and his inescapable actions. Also learning about his revived kits, his grandson, and his great grandchildren (Dandelion & Juniper), would probably affect him in some way. Him and Leopardfoot are divorced (yippee!!! 🎉🎉) but still struggle with having to work together to keep the future of the clan safe.

As for the other clans!! I don’t have a ton but here’s what’s gonna possibly happen there.

RIVERCLAN

Do you remember Whiteclaw?? No?? He was Leopardstar’s apprentice who fell over the gorge. He apparently also had a crush on Silverstream before his death. I feel him and Thrushpelt could relate to have one sided crushes on girls who end up not being at all interested in them and having a romance with the neighboring clan cats instead. (Solidarity) Willowbreeze would return with her kits as well as Brightsky and her kits (Leopardstar’s mom)

SHADOWCLAN

There is some Lord Of The Flies stuff probably happening in Shadowclan, so many apprentices and kits died there from Brokenstar’s reign among other things, daycare has gotten out of control.

WINDCLAN

Also a lot of dead apprentices in Windclan! I thought there would be a similar scenario, except Antpelt comes back and has to babysit all of them. Also possibly maybe Darktail’s unnamed newborn siblings join???

EDIT: JUST REALIZED I PUT FERNCLOUD INSTEAD OF BRINDLEFACE FOR DARKSTRIPE’S MATE I’M SORRY
